I was informed today by my mortgage broker that my Sneyd Green the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. How can I be certain whether this is indeed the case?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your Sneyd Green conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.
My wife and I are buying a property in Sneyd Green. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On the day of competition we have to put money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
Are all Sneyd Green Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing list of approved firms?
A selection of lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of firms.
The mortgage over my property is with Kent Reliance for my property in Sneyd Green. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Kent Reliance?
You must advise Kent Reliance prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Kent Reliance’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Kent Reliance directly. You need not do this via a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel firm.
It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Sneyd Green took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the agent has warned us that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Sneyd Green
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Sneyd Green conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
I am a negotiator for a long established estate agent office in Sneyd Green where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Sneyd Green conveyancing firms. Please can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
